ABSTRACT:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention provides a container having a solution therein for receiving a person's fingernails, the solution being stirred into a whirlpool in order to soften the finger cuticles for subsequent treatment.
2. Description of the Prior Art
Beauty salons typically offer manicures and pedicures in addition to the other services offered, such as hair styling.
In preparation for a manicure, the client typically places her/his hand into a bowl of hot solution for soaking in order to soften the nail cuticle to enable the cuticle to be removed. The solution is typically motionless, other than flow patterns caused by the user's fingers.
What is desired is to provide a nail bath which has a circulating bath solution in order to relax the user and to circulate away foreign objects present in the solution away from the user's finger.
SUMMARY OF THE PRESENT INVENTION
The present invention provides a cosmetology nail bath wherein the user's nails are exposed to a continuous flow of circulating solution forming a whirlpool effect allowing for both a more rapid softening of the nail cuticles and also providing the client with a pleasant, relaxing sensation as the solution flow circulates between the fingers and also removing foreign objects present in the solution away from the user's fingers.
The nail bath comprises a first compartment for holding the solution and a second compartment, below the first, for housing a motor, a first gear mounted to the motor shaft and a second gear coupled to the first gear and driving a stirrer device. With the motor energized, the second gear rotates the stirrer which, in turn, rotates, or circulates the solution.
